Track Changes & Review

2 min readUpdated Mar 25, 2026

Enable Track Changes

Toggle track changes from the toolbar's review button. When enabled:

  • Insertions appear with a colored underline
  • Deletions appear with a colored strikethrough
  • Formatting changes are annotated in the margin
  • Moves show source (strikethrough) and destination (double underline)

Each change is attributed to the author and timestamped.

Accept & Reject Changes

Click on any tracked change to see options:

  • Accept — applies the change permanently
  • Reject — reverts to the original text
  • Accept All / Reject All — batch operations

Comments

Add comments by selecting text and clicking the comment button (or use the AI to add comments via prompts).

Comments are:

  • Threaded — reply to existing comments
  • Attributed — shows author name and timestamp
  • Resolvable — mark as resolved without deleting

AI-Powered Review

The AI assistant in Review mode can:

  • Check for inconsistent terminology
  • Flag ambiguous or risky clauses
  • Verify compliance with your custom rules
  • Generate a review report with specific citations

Using Playbooks

Playbooks are reusable review rule sets. Create one with rules like:

  • "Ensure all liability caps are at least €1M"
  • "Flag any clause that allows unilateral termination"
  • "Check that defined terms are capitalized consistently"

Create a playbook

Go to Playbooks in the sidebar and click "Create Playbook." Add your rules as natural language instructions.

Run a playbook

Open a document, switch to Review mode, and select your playbook. The AI evaluates every rule against the document.

Review departures

The AI generates a list of departures — specific places where the document doesn't meet your rules. Click any departure to jump to the relevant text.

Try Review Mode

Compare Documents

Compare two versions of a document to see every change:

Open Compare mode

Click "Compare" on the home page, or switch the AI to Compare mode.

Select documents

Choose the original and modified documents from your library.

The AI generates a side-by-side comparison with AI-summarized descriptions of each change.
